VW covered the fuel pump at 30,000 miles earlier this year. It has the newest revision pump in it. VW also claims the pump is warrantied with the engine up to 60,000. It is only just out of bumper to bumper warranty not powertrain. Beside the fuel pump issue this is the nicest car I have...

sold..

Well I parked the car last week and only driven it to get appraised for the dealership to buy it back. They low balled me my payoff $16000 so I took it back home. I would love to get what KBB said trade in is worth, $19,000 for it. KBB said Private Party sale is over $21,000 but it is so hard...

My car has 37,000 miles on it and yesterday I need to merge into traffic, trying to go from 40 mph to 60 mph, and the car couldn't get out of its own way. I could run faster than this thing was accelerating. This is a recent issue since the car was always extremely peppy and would often chirp...

If I had to guess the diesel in the bottom of the tank probably gets mixed up pretty good when you fill it up the next time. I dont think it layers. Could the fuel somehow have moisture and that float to the top and when the tank gets empty you would be pulling some water in or something like...

I have been talking to some people at work about my failure. And one guy his brother works on Diesel tractors for a living and claims the HPFP is a common failure on diesel vehicles. He states "You should never run a tank empty because of all the bad diesel at the bottom." I don't know about...

When they replaced the whole fuel system they didnt hook the the fuel lines up right.

Ok we got the car back from the dealer after the humming fuel pump and they found "the switched two fuel lines". Its running fine now...

Ok some more updates. I told VWoA about the really loud HPFP and they had me bring it back to the dealership today. They are giving us a rental car too... They "said" they were just going to look at it. But why would they give us a rental car if they are just going to look at it?

:( fml

The new fuel pump is loud! It has a huge HUM to it. You can hear it in the car over the ac and radio on while sitting in a parking lot. Open up the hood and it gets really loud!! It sounds like a bug zapper turned up to 11. I hope it is suppose to do that.

Whoops I read your comment wrong. Yeah I agree with you. One pump to replace wont be a big deal. But since it contaminates the entire fuel it real puts a hurting on the car.

I know this thread is long but I did feel some odd things the week before it died. I drove the car 90% of the time. I have a job, she is unemployed and has been for some time. But anyway I noticed the car was missing At high speeds and felt like the engine power was fluctuating at around 70...

Congratulation on making it to 36,000 and I hope you see 1,000,000 more miles. I bought this car because of it's supposed longevity and fuel efficiency not because I enjoy driving it. Although I do enjoy driving it not enough to have a potentional $8,000 - $10,000 bill over my head. The cost...

No problem. Might as well help out while I can.

Would those people be willing to split the bill the next time the HPFP goes? :p I have a mitsubishi GSX that I drive regularly that I employ that strategy. ~400hp AWD is really fun. The TDI is supposed to be my reliable car.
